"Two Busses come along at the same time". I bought this very recently, then the Sunburst/Rosewood one I've been longing for, for ages came up locally today and is on hold for a month for me, so this one has gotta go although i've only had it 5 minutes.
Good Points: Original 1978 Jazz bass, serial number checks out as does the corresponding sticker under the scratchplate. All as far as I know is original, except for the missing bridge pup cover. Neck is superb, straight etc and the sound is huge. All electronics work fine and are scratch free. The neck is superb, binding,blocks all mint, zero fret wear. No extra routs or other molestations. Nice solid Fender USA embossed hard case.
Bad points. The body finish is poor. There are numerous cracks and crazed areas front and back, and if I was to keep it I would probably have her refinished and will do if no one sees the potential. There are some dull areas aswell. So dont expect a mint example as you will be dissapointed. Shes just an old girl in need of some TLC.
Open to offers although I need to clear the cost and the fuel to get her! So I have a price in mind.
Some Pics: These are detailed so you get the idea.
